Matthew 8:24

8:24 And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep.

Isaiah 54:11

54:11 “O afflicted one, driven away, ¹  and unconsoled!

Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony

and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

Mark 6:48

6:48 He ²  saw them straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. As the night was ending, ³  he came to them walking on the sea, ⁴  for ⁵  he wanted to pass by them. ⁶ 

John 6:18

6:18 By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea was getting rough.

[54:11]  ¹ tn Or, more literally, “windblown, storm tossed.”

[6:48]  ² tn This verse is one complete sentence in the Greek text, but it has been broken into two sentences in English for clarity.

[6:48]  ³ tn Grk “about the fourth watch of the night,” between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.

[6:48]  ⁴ tn Or “on the lake.”

[6:48]  ⁵ tn The καί (kai) was translated so as to introduce a subordinate clause, i.e., with the use of “for.” See BDF §442.9.

[6:48]  ⁶ sn The statement he wanted to pass by them is somewhat difficult to understand. There are at least two common interpretations: (1) it refers to the perspective of the disciples, that is, from their point of view it seemed that Jesus wanted to pass by them; or (2) it refers to a theophany and uses the language of the Greek Old Testament (LXX) when God “passed by” Moses at Sinai (cf. Exod 33:19, 22). According to the latter alternative, Jesus is “passing by” the disciples during their struggle, in order to assure them of his presence with them. See W L. Lane, Mark (NICNT), 236.
